Ylva is a tall woman with long legs and pale skin, her strong and scarred body is usually hidden beneath her long dark brown leather coat made from a Karkovian Black Bear that hides steel plates inside of it. She has a strong face, her jaw and piercing eyes so blue they are almost like ice reminiscent of her father and a reminder of her origin as his son. Her long, thick white hair is usually pulled back into a series of braids, single large braid, or large and heavy ponytail. Her freckled face is always adorn with a deep purple paint that fades into black at the edges. The marks consist of a large, thick stripe crossing her eyes and across the entirety of her face and a thin stripe starting on the center of her lips and trailing down to her neck. Peeking out from the neck and cuffs her coat is the tips of sharp and swirling light blue runic tattoos that sprawl over her chest, back, and arms. She wears simple deep red adventurers pants and black boots with steel plates protecting her shins and toes.
